Mission & Interests

Goals: The Federation works to disseminate knowledge concerning environmental health and promote co-operation between countries where environmental health issues are transboundary. It promotes the interchange of people working in this sector and the exchange of Member's publications of a scientific and technical nature. Amongst other things, the Federation seeks to provide means of exchanging information and experience on environmental health, to hold Congresses and meetings to discuss subjects relevant to environmental health science and administration, to represent the interests of environmental health to state agencies, national governments and international organisations and to promote field studies of environmental health control. The Federation’s main objective is to provide a focal point for national organisations of practitioners, whether in state, or local government, or private employment, whose concern is the care of the environment in the interests of the public health.

Acting individually within their own countries, collectively through the five regional groups of IFEH and singularly through IFEH our members strive to influence and contribute to the knowledge and development of environmental health for the benefit of our fellow citizens. Our main areas of interests are in general as stipulated in our Motto: "Caring for the environment in the interest of world health" which include: Working towards health equity (Closing the Gap), food safety and integrity, environmental protection and sustainability, occupational health and safety, tobacco control, housing and public health, consumer protection, children's environmental health, and disaster risk reduction. We are promoting a series of International Special Interest Groups in the many areas of environmental health which will enable the development of expert opinion on specific environmental health issues. We are associated with IMPELand the World Federation of Public Health Associations. We are a formal partner with the UNDRR in the area of Disaster Risk Reduction.

Info Members: IFEH is an organisation administered on a wholly voluntary basis by a Board of officers drawn from our member organisations - President, President Elect, Chairman and Secretary plus the Chairs of our four active Regional Groups-Europe: Africa, Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific. IFEH is an umbrella organisation for national environmental health associations. Other associations and academic institutes can become associated members. Our members are professional organisations, academic institutions, organisations associated with environmental health and associated individual members. Although it is difficult to indicate an absolute figure we believe we in total represent some 40,000 environmental health professionals world wide.
